As Steve was relatively new to Studio lighting, we started with a single light setup & muggins here became the model <doh> .  Going for the dark moody, low key portrait, we used one light box to camera left & kept the power as low as possible to minimise bounced light.  Finally, we added a collapsible back drop to finish the portrait.
